Creating A Sample Application File
This chapter illustrates and describes the steps involved in creating an
application file. It follows from the worksheets developed in Chapter 4,
Planning Your Application, which allow an operator to:
turn five conveyor belts on and off
select one of five pumps and turn it on or off. The pumps maintain the
pressure (PSI) in the associated vessels. The operator can monitor the
pressure of each vessel
